My illustrated summary of causes of haematuria
In medical school, I realised I learned best by imagining textbook information visually as images and animated summaries I could โlook aroundโ in my head, rather than writing notes and rehearsing lists.
Iโve spent the last number of years developing as a medical illustrator largely I think so I can try to share the images in my head with others, which have always made more sense than text blocks and bullet point lists.
Does anyone else do this?
After a lifetime of sport, I always thought that the colour of my first, post sport pee (dark green/brownish) was simply due to lack of water, as it corrects itself after necking a load of fluids shoirtly afterwards.
For reasons not important, I have only been doing 8k runs for the last few months but the other day, I went out with a running group for an unexpected, tough 16k (lots of hills). Because it was unexpected (I thought it would be a 60 minuter), I didn't take any water with me. The run itself was okay but I was shattered after.
First, post run pee: Not only was I shocked not to see the dark green colour for my first pee, I was really stunned and pannnicked to see a pink colour. I then looked online into this and discovered this new world of how the body works during impact sports.
This could also explain why I always feel a pain in my back (lower left). It might be due to my kidney when I always thought it was just the strain put on my lower back through doing the sport. (I had a history of a weak lower back)
I am of course going to go to the doctor's for a checkup but I don't think it's anything to worry about. But it is very, very interesting.
I have enclosed a few links that some of you might be interested in.

Long story short I recently (today) noticed some blood in my urine.
Naturally I'll be heading to the doctor but I just wanted to see if anyone else has dealt with this. If so, how long were you down for?
Which specialty should I visit; my general prac, a urologist, or an endocrinologist?
Thanks.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
How do you handle this?
Ako lang ang may work dito samen, separate house, sa harap namin yung extended family ko. Last November muntik maputulan ng ilaw dahil naipon yung utang worth 11k. Syempre wala ako magawa sinagot ko. Tapos dumaan Christmas, syempre kahit hirap, maghahanda. tapos now, nagkasakit lolo ko (haematuria) and needs checkup, so ako nanaman dahil feeling ko obligado ako kasi ako lang maasahan dito (may trabaho papa ko pero di maasahan kasi di sila good terms sa extended family ko). tapos buntis pa tita ko ( 3 nephews, tapos madadagdagan pa). Feel ko wala akong choice, di ako makaalis sa trabaho ko kahit ayaw ko na kasi pag may mga emergencies, wala akong magagawa. Penge tips ambigat kasi ty
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐
It really does, I swear!

Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
